Professional figure competitor Tennille Ray was recently featured in a syndicated AP News story title, ROCK HARD: on being a female bodybuilder.
The article tells the story of a challenge give to Ray from an overweight girl:
…an overweight girl told Ray she was so pretty she wanted to see her in magazines — and that if Ray did it, the girl would get in shape, too.”It really appealed to me, the idea that I could inspire this little girl,” said Ray, who hopes eventually to use her winnings for a wellness center for children. So far she’s earned more than $5,000.
